Introduction
Most of the training we do with the corporate sector is delivered to groups, but one-to-one training plays an important part too.
In every case, our training is tailored to meet your needs. We explain how this process works in the section below entitled "approach".
The kind of training we offer is set out in "courses/prices". We hope this will give you a flavour of what we do. In practice though nothing comes off-the-shelf, all our training ends up reflecting each unique need.
Finally, outplacement meets a different kind of need. We offer innovative modular programmes that bring flexibility and real help to those affected by redundancy. Please see "outplacement" below.
Approach
We follow a five-step process:
- The analysis
We identify the need by working in partnership with you to define the training topic and talk through your desired outcome. We clarify goals. Where appropriate we send questionnaires to attendees, and use Learning Style exercises to identify the preferred learning styles of participants. - Production
We write a tailored course to meet the agreed training needs. We meet with you to run through the final schedule with you and ensure approval. - Delivery
We run the training course/s, ensuring maximum participation via a combination of 'tell and sell' techniques and active creative group/individual exercises. Learning goals agreed at the start of the session are evaluated at its end, with personal action plans put in place for attendees to take away. - Follow-up
We hold one-to-one and/or group sessions following up on personal action plans. - The final countdown
The opportunity for you and our trainer/s to share feedback and discuss any required future action.

Outplacement
There has been much research into the area of outplacement and its value as a service. Personnel Today has reported that 65% of HR directors felt aiding redundant staff helped to retain those who remained, while 78% said it improved the employer's reputation.
Our trained Career Consultants are able to offer either one-to-one or group sessions on any of the Career Doctor topics. The workshops can be held on or off site.
Our ‘Change Management’ course (see "courses/prices") can also be adapted as a session for colleagues who are affected by the redundancy process but who are retained by their employer.
